22-04-2017

Today is about celebrating the planet's environment, because it´s Earth Day. That potatoes are healthy became clear in our previous news article 'World Health Day'. However, the potato is not only good for people, but also for our planet.

Environmenally friendly

Please have a look at the pyramids below, where the nutritional amounts of various food types are compared to the environmental impact. As you can see, the potato has many nutritional values and a low impact on the environment. How so? Well for example; no less than 2,500 litres of water are needed to grow 1 kilogram of rice, while only 500 litres are needed to grow 1 kg of potatoes. So remember; healthy choices can make a difference in the world.
